Gundu Farm House, Bhaktapur

All of our restaurants and kitchens (at our hotels for example) provide great tasting food freshly prepared using organic ingredients*. Many of these ingredients (rice, seasonal vegetables, flour) come from our own farm at Gundu Farm House. Others are sourced from our sister company Kheti Bazaar (a Kathmandu-based organic farm shop) who in turn source their fruits, vegetables, honey, eggs etc. from organic farms throughout Nepal (including our own Gundu Farm House).

We do not believe that eating organic food is a privilege, but a right. We actively campaign against GMOs, pesticides and harmful agricultural practices within Nepal. Through our Gundu Farm House we also provide training to Nepali farmers and hope to be a living example of what is possible through organic farming and a permaculture approach.

*Organic meat is not readily available in Nepal and organic eggs are not always available.

Gundu Farm House in the VDC of Suryavinayak just south of Bhanktapur is another example of traditional thinking and modern design. Traditionally people would build their homes on the top of ridges where soil is shallower while walking down into the valleys to grow crops in the deeper, more fertile land. Over the years, many houses have been built further downhill to reduce the need to carry goods up or down.

Gundu Farm House is located in the valley of the small Gundu Khola (Gundu River) where organic crops are grown year-round. Our fruits, vegetables and grains provide wholesome and organic ingredients to our other properties.
